True. What is required here is a public-key signature scheme. The fox produces a key pair and publishes the public key which is then used by the hounds. The problem is that all public-key signature schemes I know of produce quite long signatures, and you can't truncate them (accepting the reduced security) as you could when using a symmetric key scheme. For example the detached public-key signatures provided by libsodium are 64 bytes, probably way too long for a fox message. So this will require some research, and the first question is how many signature bits could be accomodated in a fox message.
